Archive for the ‘Anthony Castaneda’ tag

* When C.J. Titterington bought his 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, it was just a beat-up race car, but he stuck with it over the years, restoring and refining it into the black beauty it is today. Rick Tavel at CorvetteBlogger.com has the tale.

* In Argentina, the ubiquitous Ford Falcon came to be associated with the repressive Peron dictatorship for their role as car of choice for disappearing subversives. The Driving Enthusiast Blog has more on that dark history.

* John Fitch didn’t have too many cars in his personal collection, but it appears that at least one has been sold off already – the Consulier GTP that we had a chance to drive when visiting with Fitch before he died. The Street Peep spotted it in Long Island, now for sale with a six-figure price tag. Makes one wonder where the Phoenix is.

* Dan Stoner at Autoculture relayed the info this week that Anthony Castaneda, one of the catalysts for the retro-rod/rat rod movement, died in a car crash last weekend.

* Finally, Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked came across this abandoned Impala somewhere outside Salt Lake City, Utah. We’re guessing this one didn’t run when it was parked there and won’t ever run again.
